Answer by kerry m
2 copies are generally required in a residential lease.. altho if it’s in a condominium complex the association as well as the management company may require the originals as well… it’s best to check with your city hall to obtain the specific requirements for your area

I would need to speak with a lawyer or legal-aid about this residential leasing issue that need to be solved. I don’t want to make a BIG deal out of it such as paying VERY expensive lawyer. I am pretty sure there’s someone in somewhere that is really affordable to help me with this and the apartment leasing issue.

You know like “divorce lawyer”, “bank lawyer”, etc… what about residential apartment leasing lawyer? Housing lawyer?

shearie — Tue, 08 May 2012 04:14:52 +0000

Question by 10 pts for me?: Residential Lease question?
My roommate and I signed a lease on a place that began Nov 1. We are so unhappy with the landlord and various other things. We really want out and I noticed that the termination date was left blank on the lease. Does that auromatically make it month to month?

Best answer:

Answer by John P
it may or may not, just be frank with the landlord, tell him your moving out, and when, so he can try to find another tennant, this way it looks like your not stiffing him, the blank date can be used in your defense, if the shoe was on the other foot, he wood probably use the blank date in his favor, for shure. just try to aproach the situation, and him in a reasonable manner

Question by Michelle F: is a 99 yr residential lease agrmt that can be terminated if breached anything like a life estate?

Best answer:

Answer by laughter_every_day
A leasehold can be inherited. A life estate ends when the person dies. One year or a hundred, it still ends. With a leasehold, the lessee may also owe different duties to the lessor. For instance, a prohibition against damage. With a life estate, if you want to burn the house, you are free to do so.

When and why would a triple Net (NNN) lease be considered a good option for a tenant?

shearie — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 04:17:17 +0000

Question by dvrki: When and why would a triple Net (NNN) lease be considered a good option for a tenant?
Particularly in a residential lease. Is this ever a good option? If so, why?

Best answer:

Answer by Steve
A NNN lease for a house allows the Landlord to have a specific known amount coming in every month. Let’s look at the different components of the NNN. Insurance. No difference to you or landlord. If it is a gross lease, insurance cost would just be included in your total amount. Taxes, the same as insurance. If you are signing a residential lease for more than one year, then the incentive to keep the taxes low falls a little more to the tenant than Landlord, but not much. When you move out, the Landlord pays the taxes, and he wants the amount as low as possible. Thirdly, and most broad is, maintenance. Mowing the lawn, your expense. But, here is what you need to know. Who pays for the repairs to the property. Ask the Landlord specifically about this. If the Tenant is responsible, I would consider passing on the deal if it is an older home. AC units have a way of costing a lot of money. Sometimes, there can be a compromise on large items, say anything over $ 500.00 is the Landlord’s expense. If you have any questions, feel free to email.
